My rating: 2 of 5 stars
The Thief is about just what the title says, A thief. He begins in jail and gets taken out of jail by the kings Magnus and swept up on a mysterious journey. All he knows is that he is needed for his theiving skills and will go free if he is successful. He meets Pol, the body guard, Sophos and Ambiadies, The apprentices, and The Magnus. They travel far across countries to find, what he doesnt figure out until later, Hamathies Gift, an ancient stone from the Gods that means who ever has it is the ruler. It is hidden in a secret and almost magical cave/temple of the Gods and Gen is supposed to go and steal it. From the Gods. This mission has been attempted many times before, but no one has ever made it back. Gen however is very skilled and for some reason has favor with the God Eungenidies, who he is named after, even though he is stealing from Him. Gen starts out hating all of his companions but by the end finds that he has grown close to almost all of them. His companions find out really who Gen is when they are captured and brought back a kingdom that Gen is very familier with. I didnt really enjoy this book very much. It was a little confusing and I when I finished the only thought left in my mind was "So what?". I didnt really see the point of it. I was surprised to feel this way too because I have heard so many LOVED these books, so maybe I just missed something...
